Across the Expanse: Day 10
*Start transmission*
Havardy: Come in Jim, are you there?
Lee: *Silence*
Havardy: Dammit Jim, answer me!
Lee: *Silence*
Havardy: Fuck!
*Clattering and
crashing*
Havardy: *deep breathing* It’s alright Amy, just calm
down, I’m sure the crash must have knocked his comms out… yeah, that’s it,
he’ll call in as soon as fixes them. Then you won’t be alone with the pirates
that are wandering around the Expanse… you’ll leave the bunker to rescue a
probably injured ally, and deal with pirates. Goddammit Jim! You should have
gotten out of there sooner, then we wouldn’t be in this situation…. *Sighs* You better be alright.
Lee: *Static, distorted noise* Come… Amy…
Havardy: Jim? Come in Jim!
Lee: Amy?.... you… there?
Havardy: Yeah I am. God it’s good to hear from you.
Lee: Coms…. in… crash
Havardy: The coms were broken in the crash?
Lee: Yes…
Havardy: Are you injured?
Lee: No...crash… unconscious… but… leg… pinned…
wreckage.
Havardy: Shit! How bad is it?
Lee: Nothing broken… just stuck.
Havardy: I have a plasma cutter here at the bunker,
activate your distress beacon so I can get a bead on you.
Lee: Can’t… pirates…
Havardy: *Groans* Dammit you’re right... Is your nav unit
still working?
Lee: Barely…
Havardy: Can you still read your coordinates?
Lee: Yes… sending them to you now.
Havardy: Got them… dammit that’s at least half a day’s
travel. The surface is gonna freeze me before I can make it there by foot, and
Vera is over at the Mines, which is where the pirates set up shop. Can you make
it through the night?
Lee: Life support… functional.
Havardy: Alright, good. I’m heading for you first thing
in the morning.
Lee: Appreciate…
Havardy: Save it for when I get there.
*End transmission*
